Driver Airbag Deployment Loop Resistance Out of Range

Understand B2501, common causes, and the right TOPDON scanner to diagnose it.

Driver airbag squib resistance not within spec — deployment may not occur.

Veelvoorkomende symptomen

  • Airbag warning
  • Do not measure squib with ohmmeter

Typische oorzaken

  • Clock spring high/low resistance
  • Airbag module internal fault
  • Connector not fully seated

Welke scanner heb je nodig?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Gebruik live data en freeze frame voordat je onderdelen vervangt. ABS-, SRS- en U-codes vereisen meestal een full-system scanner.

Diagnosetips

  • Leg freeze frame vast wanneer de code voor het eerst verschijnt
  • Wis de code pas na het oplossen van de oorzaak
  • Controleer op gerelateerde pending codes
  • Controleer of accuspanning boven 12,4 V is voordat je sensoren suspecteert
